Hi anyone got any relatively inexpensive 165mm cranks surplus to requirements. Current set keep falling off so suspect the insides have been rounded. Only for a daily commuter so nothing too special but hoping for 130mm BCD to match my 48T chainring if possible?

Thanks in advance
Tim

If your budget is tight and the bike is a beater, get budget cranks off eBay:

I've gone similar as what @Vince linked with http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMBROSIO-PRESTIGE-TRACK-CHAINSET-1-8-X-48T-X-165MM-SQUARE-TAPER-/391491217633?hash=item5b26b1e8e1%3Ag%3A2roAAOSweW5VZGa-&_trkparms=pageci%3D6c3aa1f5-4e9e-4185-9db1-a4c35d1d78d1%2Cparentrq%3Deb9fb1211560aa133242f4ebfffb8f39%2Ciid%3D1%2Cobjectid%3D109118 for my commuter.

I had budge Lasco cranks for years and never had any issues with them.

Ambrosio ones look identical so that's a good shout to get branded cranks

Thanks all, Tom I really wanted 165mm so will take a punt on those eBay Ambrosios. Does anyone know if I can get a 45mm chain line with them?

I'm looking for something similar, currently getting rid of the cottered cranks on a bike I've been converting. Am looking to keep costs fairly low. Those Ambrosio cranks look like a decent, but also cheap choice, I was wondering how anyone has got on with them? Is it worth buying them over some off brand ebay ones?

knightster, I picked up these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMBROSIO-PRESTIGE-TRACK-CHAINSET-1-8-X-48T-X-165MM-M15-SQUARE-TAPER-/272531148787?hash=item3f741f4ff3:g:XDYAAOSwUKxYhNud last year and they (touch wood) have been great. I bought them with a 113mm Shimano UN26 and together its fine for the daily commute...

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
